Susgen Information

Susgen is a London-based private investment firm focused on fighting climate change. We are a team of active investors who provide strategic and commercial support in addition to capital. Over the last decade, we have funded and partnered with utility-scale renewable energy project developers in the UK, USA, and Éire to develop some of the most successful solar and battery energy storage project development platforms in these markets. We seek out small teams of first movers looking to pioneer new markets and help them achieve their goals by providing patient capital, strategic intelligence, and financial expertise.
